THe one thing the ED has to do is advertise and also put the word out to Ho and n scale vendors that they are welcome also.
If the York show is strictly O gauge then the show will fail. Attendance has been going down over the years and it is getting to a point if it keeps up the future does not look bright.
This will be my 63rd straight York and I want them to continue and to that it must change or die.
We all have to encourage vendors who don't normally attend to do so this April and beyond. I model Ho now and I have a stake on getting the public to attend and having HO and N scale vendors to attend as sellers.
Timonium show is mostly the smaller scales but there is many O gauge vendors and even a few O scale vendors and believe me the show was jammed with attendees. It was my second time at this show and believe I will go back. Plus there were many modular clubs from N scale to G. A couple of Ho clubs are huge and they looked incredible. Also one club who models European type trains and has a full catenary that looks amazing. Never seen a catenary system modeled on a modular layout before. The layouts and clinics are worth the visit.
